lemony Bars

I got the primary recipe from allrecipes.com under the title "The Best Lemon Bars". I have made a few changes, but basically they are the same.

Crust
1 Cup softened butter
1/2 cup white sugar
2 Cups all-purpose flour
About 1/4 tsp Cinnamon

Filling
4 eggs
1 1/2 Cup sugar
4 Tbls Flour
1/2 Cup Lemon/Lime Juice - Any mixture of the two also works

1: Preheat oven to 350
2: Blend crust ingredients together and press firmly into the bottom of a 13 X 9 pan ungreased.
3: Bake crust for about 20 minutes or until slightly brown around the edges.
4: While crust is baking whisk together filling ingredients. Adding the eggs last. Whisk until the grainy texture of the sugar has dissolved.
5: Remove crust from oven, pour filling over top and bake another 20 minutes or so. Until a tooth pick comes out clean.
6: (optional) I like to sprinkle the finished product with sugar and carmelize it using a kitchen torch or broiler.

Enjoy
